that could end the conflict and put al qaeda on the run we have imposed the toughest ever sanctions to rein in iran's nuclear ambitions. so kind of using that prop form to you know for half maybe both about about what i think which is trying to say i think this is important that united states is not going to solve these issues what charlie is going to have to be solved with to diplomacy and development and i think that's a good a good thing where is the bush administration thought everything can be solved militarily she's talking about the fact that in iraq you're going to turn really over the situation to state department and i do people by the end of this year and in afghanistan hopefully as you said it's the civilians can bring about reconciliation i think that's the way it should be because military power can't get the answer to everything right but a lot of folks are saying that this is this is where they take issue they say that this money that is sort of being dubbed as aid who is it really going to and that's

the problem that they had with egypt saying that you know what over a billion dollars a year from the united states they were like their country on the left turn steve so much aid and there wasn't really going to clearly it wasn't going to the egyptian people and it was going to to mubarak and i want to read something that got hillary clinton said back on january twenty fifth about the situation in egypt she said our assessment is that the egyptian government is stable and is looking for a way to respond to the legitimate needs and interests of the egyptian people even on january twenty fifth as you said that this was sort of a judgment it was. one of these things where everybody says that eventually this will end you know you cannot an autocratic rule forever but you know to know exactly when or if you go back a look at one hundred eighty nine a lot of people thought that the chinese regime would be like the soviet union and the warsaw pact countries but it didn't end their military turned on its people that did not happen in polls and didn't happen in in russia you may remember there

was a coup in russia and the summer of ninety nine we won the military did not back the people who overthrew the shah so that was a kid that was a key thing and i think. a lot of people you know on twenty twenty hindsight say well gee we should've known i mean we always knew the cold war would end but we didn't know exactly where and i think a lot of people were surprised that it ended when it did when i worked for president reagan and he said to. prime minister gorbachev tear down this wall we were surprised we're going to couple years the people tore down all the reason that i that i mentioned that is because and what hillary clinton said in some of these misjudgments that you say is sort of repeating throughout history. that's her defense robert gates spoke at west point this past friday i want to play star clip of what he said any that we want to get your reaction to. and i must tell you when it comes to predicting the nature and location of our next military engagements since vietnam our record has been perfect we have never once gotten it right. from

the my aquarius to grenada panama somalia the balkans haiti kuwait iraq and more we had no idea a year before any of these missions that we would be so engaged he said i originally yeah exactly that's exactly the reaction i had because i read the transcript originally and didn't realize that this was heard of his tired sarcasm he's basically saying we have a perfect record of getting it wrong well again i think is overstating the case and saying that we didn't predict a lot of these things that would happen but the fact of the matter is this is rather ironic use an intelligence officer lose his job i can tell you i work with this man you know he said he said gorbachev would be succeeded by a star witness the russians would never leave afghanistan so he got a lot of other people you know representing the blame here well he you know i mean basically he's getting ready to leave i mean he in that same speech which you played the clip earlier he said you are to have your head examined didn't he.

can't have it both ways so maybe he won't once he leaves will have time to well i mean basically he's trying to cover his own trucks he's mainly concerned about himself i mean this is a man who served in many administrations this is the being covered up on the whole rand clarke for thing so this is not somebody i would put a lot of credence in very interesting what we also talk about the notion of you know which democracy is the united states supports and which ones it retracts our secrets on and also we're actually going to get our report for us about that listen to this. demonstrations for regime change across the arab world have spread like wildfire western powers of come up backing occultist a morning regime change dramatically changing the kind of supporting the alstom awful fight here in mali as they backed only bits ago as demonstrations sweep across the arab world western governments support a call for change but is it a call for change or is it actually

a call for regimes that they want in power it's not the first time the west has shown and a carte approach to democracy in arab world six years ago elections in gaza were hailed internationally as a massive milestone for the middle east. with representatives from the west and renowned political figures and organizations who were present during the election and monitored it has been confirmed its authenticity to the world. but when the results were in that authenticity was ignored one of your not understanding here is that. the west under a vessel called democracy as long as it's good for them i give it is not good for. their and. their supporters and the west most certainly did not support the new how much government despite being voted in by more than sixty percent of gazans western power was able to pass a terrorist organization yeah. they're not really many instances of genuine

democracy in the west the people for democracy but when people make a democratic choice only choosing among us to refuse to help a western democracies a foster mother see a democracy of standards for the benefit of europe a war much as why as soon as hamas was voted in western governments got busy with trying to boot it out through boycott and sanctions which raises the question my support free elections in the first place but not there are come. up with you know i believe the west is in constant need of regimes that go along with its policies the shooter serve the west he approaches will be elected by the. people. believe that the americans. don't really know how to handle this situation where the relationship is the duffy worth it we have ago there were times when your post him and go bother him and there were a time when the support of him when he gave them the oil but now he's no longer of use and like to take his elsewhere with

a start of the year winning favor in the east he's been ditched the hopes an arab will for change under obama appear to be dwindling among some political figures at least under president bush there are a lot of criticism. that after the advent of president obama there was a lot of. welcome to the new america under mr obama. i would have hoped that. the administration under president obama would have done better the protesters across the arab world hoping to topple dictators in the quest for democracy may find a choice may not be as free as they'd hoped for with a meeting hand from afar still pulling the strings policy r.t. television. that's an interesting question that paula brings to light why support these reforms or these democracies if they don't support their outcome well i think

you can't have it both ways the united states didn't support the election and so it should have recognized you know the outcome but i think people make a big mistake you can't confuse elections with the morocco saying in order to have a democracy you need to build civil society not takes a long time it's not sort of the first step no it's not what is the end of the first step is to develop an independent judiciary how do you do that if you have a dictator now or well ok then you're going to have a transition government but even dictators if you will or watercress to allow a certain amount of press freedom they do allow a certain amount. of you know judiciary and if you look at eastern europe i mean when the wall fell they were ready to go because for example the culture they had wounds and so you had developed this civil civil society before i let you go i just want to ask you one final thing there's a lot of unrest also in iraq right now security forces clashing with people there

have been reports of folks killed. jailed live ammunition used why don't we see that brought to light more often certainly iraq is extremely important to the night is especially when it's when it's pointed out well i mean the united states should have recognize you can't impose democracy by force of arms it's better to do with the way they did in egypt and to tunisia and of course now you're reaping the consequences of that we thought that if we quell the violence the political leaders would make the compromises necessary to avoid this but they didn't there you know when the. former prime minister allawi won the election not like he didn't want to give up power i mean when i went to iraq and the fall of two thousand and nine general in there we said the commanding us to group us to evaluate the situation i said i don't care when. likely friends of selection he's not going to leave and that's true and so i think you need to recognize that before you go in too you know and that's why it's very important that we are very careful about what we do i

think we can handle that right in egypt we made some misjudgments but by and large we handled it right and hopefully we'll get it right in in libya i think and much more critical for the united states is going to be a ball right because in bahrain where we have you know our fifth fleet it's right near saudi arabia it is a country that's ruled by a sunni minority with a shiite majority which is the way iraq was under saddam hussein that's a very interesting point and very interesting revelations about that are different from the gate maybe you should take over that role he was how there is i do not know his car thinking with you. and of course when we talk about the protests in the middle east here's something else that we have to be very mindful of all that unrest has caused a surge in oil prices over the weekend gas prices junction nationwide highs and in january alone food prices rose at the fastest rate of two thousand eight hundred course all of these things are connected and today's tetchy ben bernanke you testified in front of the u.s.

congress he told lawmakers that a prolonged rise in oil prices what is fact was a danger to the u.s. economy by you don't think that this increase last too long and the situation he sat probably won't get out of control for more author and researcher israel publicly is talking to us from windows i think. is going good to see you still burning here saying that the more likely outcome to all of this we just see these temporary and modest increases in consumer prices not that runaway inflation what do you think do you agree with that. but in a way yes because he was looking very much just from the point of view of the national interest of the united states but also from the point of view of instances which are further apart i think we have to understand of there are a series of over problems this is going on of the world and some of them are can be even contradictory so for example rivals rising oil prices and they are rising to the dollar mark would be in crisis that's right zain while prices would seem to go against the national interest of the united states and europe above that there is

another process a much longer term process which is seeking to generate the relative weakening in crucially of the united states visibly becoming world powers of the world powers we are by the erosion of the sovereign nation state is one of the goals so what we're seeing in north africa what we may also and we definitely are seeing in the states is the rather to controls micromanaged weakening of nation states through turmoil through economic and financial crises turn up why would they rank i mean nobody certainly no one in the us wants it all prices or food prices rise nobody in the world wants to see that what is the justification and point of abuse claims that are made absolutely nobody in the u.s. or at least not the american people want to see that but if you look at it from the point of view of the long term planning of our power elite of global power of that is wrapping up globalization after twenty years because a really it has served most of its purpose and it's ushering in it coming world

government will natural you know a common world government you would need to in a controlled manner erode the relative power of nation states and that is what we just happening now in america and also in north africa i want to get back to something bernanke you said arthur because he blamed the rise in oil prices i'm strong demand from countries like china and not a consequence of the fads our stimulus policy in this case is heard of are always easier to just now blame another country like china. well bernanke you would naturally have some city do that because you know he wants to defend his own policies but if you look at the third policies the federal reserve bank policies over the last two years three years they have been catastrophic a quantitative easing one in terms of the easing to which it was a euphemism for hyperinflation we are technically in the dollar so we will always be used to clean chinese demand or the libyan crisis or even any concerted action on the part of the opec countries or even business will or which is always in danger then to say our own policies have failed or that some standard i think we.

have to look at be overriding the will power of term which is even above that of the agenda of the foreign of the state department and the federal reserve in the united states and so but it's catastrophic and these are your words not mine then why again why in athens policies. basically because we are seeing and this is the key point i think we have to keep in mind don't think so much in terms of actual countries although they are so important whether people are us or the cops of the european union or north africa or latin america we're going to see the wrapping up of globalization and the ushering in a world government and that a string of a world government just is going for the pipe all the words of globalization necessitated that the soviet union should go into the waste bin of history as it did for him to use that bill now the superpower has to go in a way that has to be relatively weak and is the united states because a world government cannot tolerate

a powerful superpower which today isn't from the hands that was just the clinton's the obama's but what would happen if we had troops it should work to the white house sometime in the near future that would spoil trouble so we have to understand what the medium and long term agenda are of the builder of the trilateral commission the council on foreign relations and such other thing towns that work in favor of the global planning of private interest because world powers has become privatized and definitely not in the interest of the people were egypt libya the united states or even the european union who would be a true patriot in your personal opinion to come to the white house but i'm not an expert on the houses rather than give names of we do have a tendency to focalize everything in focus everything around people who would see any group of men and women in america or europe or in my country argentina who are truly aligned with the national interest of the common good of the people and not. the money power but the problem is that with so called them obviously it is the

money power that puts the candidates in the white house and ten downing street and they only see it and even our cats are also at the wrong argentina now look every look at the other side is a member now to go to hell now to explain the fact monetary policy something like twenty three year and it's not like all these lawmakers are in lockstep with him many have criticized this saying that this bubble of inflation will burst two republicans in particular have been very critical of some of these policies do you not factor that into their present all. absolutely but you know the finger has bitten the cat that has to go out of the bag and i think ron paul is one of them is for example on wonderful. films just passed is the fact of the federal reserve is basically not a u.s. government controlled entity but it is a central bank mostly controlled by would prohibit interest private banks themselves and what bernanke has to do is every six months go to congress to inform why he does what he does or not to see construction so if anything the problem with

the global financial system of which the federal reserve system is that the very center is the fact of beholding entire planet or in monetary system is handled by private interests which are banking interests and private banking interests never have them as their main focus is that the common good of the people of whatever country nor the national interest even of them to say the united states right and it's a very interesting point are these our private bankers actually listening to the lawmakers and the voters are there in research or agents of what you're about to go for now the thanks for your time and let's talk about another western power the united kingdom the people of britain are about to go pro doubt who they are and how they live with the latest nationwide census just around the corner and now there's a fear over who will actually get to see the sensitive information but that's mainly because a controversial us the press corp is actually in charge of collecting the data are to correspondent lara and explains take a look at this. it's senses time in the u.k. when every household in the country is asked to provide detailed information about

their lives to the government so they can keep track of what's going on and who will be in charge of this sensitive data. yes it's controversial u.s. arms manufacture a lot he departed and campaigners ranging from religious groups to peace activists to data protection lobbyists are really against it on ethical grounds they are number of oppressive regimes they also are the us heavily in the wars they fought in iraq and afghanistan opposed by the majority of people in britain even if supporting the british government firstly it's worrying the sense of being given to such a company into their intelligence and surveillance wing which is not since his apparel but secondly many people. participating in an activity which helps the profits of a company engaged in things which most people in the country don't approve hill

vows to boycott the census despite the risk of prosecution he says he won't be alone look he'd make slammed mines and nuclear weapons and contracts out interrogation at guantanamo bay although it will be the u.k. arm that carries out the survey there's still a worry that the information could fall under the auspices of the us patriot act which compels personal data held by any company on systems in the us to be made available to government intelligence the office but national statistics which gauge lockheed martin maintains its taken measures to make sure u.s. authorities can't access the data. processing will be carried out in the u.k. leave or be held any point outside the u.k. no lockheed martin staff will have access to any personal sense and start a. well dart is the property of you and only you katie you own companies will have any access to personal census data but it's that last point that's raise red flags

for data protection lobbyists who say that all the private information collected jury in a census will be available to practically any organization that requests it any use under any statute. any use by the security or intelligence services for national security purposes any use for the pursuit of crime any use in pursuit of an e.u. community obligation so any e.u. rules that information can be passed over so it's essential any government use whatsoever of confidentiality has been abolished and u.k. government agencies don't exactly have a great track record when it comes to safeguarding information three years ago a file containing secrets terror related documents was left on a train more recent.
